Question 1

How can you authenticate a pre-owned luxury bag before buying?

Accepted Answer

Always rely on trained experts. Authenticating a second-hand designer bag means inspecting the leather, stitching, hardware, stamps and serial codes against each house's references. At Old Fashioned Club, every piece is authenticated by our specialists and comes with a certificate of authenticity before it is ever offered for sale.

Question 2

Where can you buy second-hand luxury bags in Paris with confidence?

Accepted Answer

Choose a specialist with a physical showroom and in-house authentication experts. Founded in 2017, Old Fashioned Club welcomes you to its showroom at 4 & 6 rue des Saussaies, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Every bag is authenticated, sold with a certificate and shipped free of charge, for a truly reassuring purchase.

Question 3

Do pre-owned luxury bags hold their value over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, certain iconic models retain their value remarkably well. The Hermès Birkin, created in 1984, and the Chanel 2.55, designed by Coco Chanel in February 1955, remain desirable decade after decade. Value depends on the model, condition, rarity and age. Buying pre-owned keeps these timeless pieces in circulation.

Question 4

What is the difference between a new and a pre-owned luxury bag?

Accepted Answer

A pre-owned bag offers the same craftsmanship as a new one, often at a fairer price, and sometimes grants access to pieces no longer available in stores. Authenticated and certified, it supports sustainable fashion. At Old Fashioned Club, every bag is hand-selected, inspected and guaranteed by our experts.

Question 5

Is buying a second-hand luxury bag a responsible choice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a sustainable fashion decision. Choosing a pre-owned luxury bag extends the life of an exceptional piece and reduces demand for new production. Since 2017, Old Fashioned Club has championed accessible, responsible luxury, giving authenticated bags a new life while honouring their history and quality.

Question 6

What determines the price of a pre-owned luxury bag?

Accepted Answer

Price depends on several factors: the house and model, overall condition, age, rarity and whether the original accessories are included. A sought-after edition or well-preserved leather adds value. At Old Fashioned Club, we apply a fair price, grounded in the careful assessment of our specialists rather than guesswork.

Question 7

How does Old Fashioned Club guarantee the authenticity of its bags?

Accepted Answer

Every bag is authenticated by our experts before going on sale, then accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. We examine materials, finishes, hardware and markings against each house's standards. You can also discover our pieces in our Paris showroom on rue des Saussaies, with complimentary delivery on every order.
